I sent an email to the Car Tech Advisor with the SCTA to see if there is anyone in the Midwest to have them look at it or discuss things with. We will see.

They are a pretty good bunch. You may have to haul the car somewhere for one of them to look it over. They will give pointers and tips. Now if you try asking the Speed Demon guys what their cam specs are/were on the 2500HP LS, they may give you some general ideas but the exact specs will be secret. For a cam, talk

to 3 or 4 cam grinders tech depts. Most of the main grinders have experience with LSR engines. When you get 2 or 3 telling you pretty much the same thing, that is whay you go with. Then just to choose who you want to work with.
A LSR engine that has to stay together at wide open throttle for 5 miles is likely going to need some expensive parts inside. This is a long shot from bracket racing.
With El Mirage this weekend is a good time to go talk to people if you can arrange it. Same bunch of people but on a dry lake bed instead of the salt. Traction is still an issue.
